Great session with @jacobthompsonmusic yesterday. Excited to get back to work after our successful crowdfunding campaign!

What I lack in rhythmic precision, I make up for with percussive enthusiasm.

Welcome to @plaiddogrec, Ludwig Maple 8x14, aka Bertha 2.0. You can go from gun shot to a saturated sponge on a dime.

Just a little something I threw together. 🎵: @jacobthompsonmusic

Hanging out with this blurry fella all week recording his EP after a successful crowdfunding campaign a few months back!

@forestfloormandoco stopped by today to make all of our guitars sound better! New England winters are so brutal on string instruments.

I love it when artists bring in unique instruments I rarely to get record. This one here is an old pump organ that’s been in @starcrossedlosers’ family for over 70 years. Surprise, surprise, it sounded amazing.

Caroline “we live in the same place” Portu dropping by to finish the new single. 🔥 #parksandrec

Been having a blast recording this special tune with @jacobthompsonmusic all week. Can’t wait to mix this thing tomorrow!

Had such a great time with these dudes this weekend. I also got to try out some of my @uaudio holiday haul. So, all in all, not a bad way to be in the moment.

Listening intently.

Kicking ass and taking names during our vocal session yesterday.

Been having a blast with @hannahrooth and @wildhummusic this week! Safe to say I can say the same for Haddie.

That’s quite the vocal chain: live re-amping, memory man, OCD, and a terrifyingly awesome performance by @zooxray to match.

When a listening party turns into a dance party.

Achieving my squad goals with @portuisright4u, @danielyjk, and @chagdrums over the past two days of tracking. Happy to have so much talent in the same room!

Plenty of room for some room in this mix, and what better room to use then my own?

Wrapping up mixes for @indianaheights today (but also playing with the camera on my new 📱) #treatyoself

Caught bobbin’. @bryanfellow

This is my new favorite way to do pre-pro. It’s like sitting in two driver’s seats at once. Take the wheel and drive! @portuisright4u
